BROOKINGS, S.D. – South Dakota State makes its home debut for the 2022-23 season by taking on the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks (2-1) at 6 p.m. Saturday in Frost Arena. The matchup between the Jacks is the second following last year's game in Nacogdoches, Texas, which saw SDSU top SFA 83-71 in William R. Johnson Coliseum on Nov. 14.
The Jackrabbits play their first game in Frost Arena this season. SDSU is known for its success across Division I for its success in its home confines. Since the 2015-16 season, the Jackrabbits lead the nation in home winning-percentage with their record of 91-5 (.948). SDSU is among the top three in the country in home winning percentage over the last decade.
The home opener in Brookings on Nov. 19 is one of the latest in recent memory. Excluding the 2020-21 season, the home opener date is the latest for SDSU since 2014-15 when it hosted North Dakota on Nov. 21. The matchup is also the deepest SDSU has hosted a game in its slate since 2003-04 when the Jacks played their first contest in Frost in their sixth game of the season.
The Jacks returned to Brookings following an eventful two-day span. SDSU played its first game in the 605 state on Tuesday, defeating St. Bonaventure 66-62 in the Sanford Pentagon. Just 24 hours later SDSU was in Fayetteville taking on No. 9/10 Arkansas and fell to the Razorbacks, 71-56. The Jackrabbits stand at 2-2 overall on the season.
Senior Matt Dentlinger led the Jackrabbits in scoring for the third consecutive game in their victory over the Bonnies. His three straight double-digit outputs were a first for him since the 2020-21 season.
Wednesday's contest at nationally-ranked Arkansas saw SDSU cut a deficit to the Razorbacks to 31-27 with 2:29 left in the first half. Arkansas responded with a 10-0 run and the game stayed in double digits from there.
Zeke Mayo has been a leader on the boards for SDSU in four contests. After a career-high 13 rebounds in the win against St. Bonaventure, he snagged another eight to go with nine points in the loss to the Hogs. He's averaging 8.3 this season.
